concern yet to be formed will remodel chicago's great playhouse the lease of the auditorium theater the largest playhonse in the country west of new york has passed from the hands of klaw & erlanger the head and front of the so-called theatrical syndicate to inter ests closely allied with the metropolitan grand opera company of new york john c shaffer of Chicago and andreas dlppel co-manager with gatti-cazzaza of the metropolitan grand opera company are the men named in the lease it is said that they represent a syndicate of leading new york and Chicago business men the lease will be assigned by messrs shaffer and dippel to a company now being organ ized in Chicago in a statement issued by the new lessees in new york last night the definite promise of a twenty weeks season of grand opera for Chicago in 1910 is definitely and un qualifiedly made will remodel theater the statement says the auditorium theater wdll be en tirely remodeled and will be made one of the most beautiful and artistic houses in the country the decorations and new boxes will be arranged some what after the style of the metropolitan opera house in new york andreas dippel has offered his serv ices to the organization as general man ager in an honorary position and will in conjunction with the board of direct ore of the new company select a gen eral musical director who will have en tire charge of the production of grand opera in Chicago the opera company in Chicago will be independent of all other organizations but affiliated with interests identified with the metropolitan opera company of new york it will have its own con ductors officers orchestra chorus bal let scenery costumes etc in short its own complete independent artistic and business administration and will give ' a season of twenty weeks of grand opera beginning in the fall of isio ii;^;ii tue men l>ehinjf the new enter 1 re very careful to state that another new graad opera company will be formed t<s v.:ke tare of the rhle&go ond of the i wor the tno companies in all probability j will be so closely allied and will work in | such harmony that to all intents and pur 1 poses they will be one and the same the big theatrical deal is fraught with great possibilities for Chicago it means | that the metropolitan opera company un-j doubtrdlv the premier operatic orgnniza j tion of the country has secured for itself another home the company now has homes of its own in four great cities of the world â€” new york boston paris and | j Chicago the deal means that the directors of the metropolitan opera company have recognized Chicago as a great musical center now hammerstein it means also that the metropolitan opera company has thrown down the gauntlet to oscar hamnienstein in all probability the new move of the metropolitan will only spur hammerstein never known as a lag gard or a man who shuns a tight to greater efforts with a site for his new temple of music already purchased the passing of the auditorium from the bands of the theatri cal trust to his most hated rivals will prob ably only spur impresario hammerstein to greater efforts ground for the new ham merstein theater on the north side may be broken much earlier than was at first con templated the passing of the auditorium lease into tbc hands of the metropolitan interests also further complicates the concert situa tion in the second city of the country and makes the war of the rivel managers f wight neumann and max kahinoff even more bitter than it has been in the past if such things be possible the leasing of the ausitorium is be lieved to be a part of n comprehensive plan that the directors of the metropolitan opera compauy hare in view for the es tablishment of a grand opera circuit it is said that houses will be acquired in san francisco philadelphia st i.ouis and possibly denver this circuit however is believed to be somewuat remotely distant great secrecy was maintained in the negotiations which led up to the transfer of the auditorium to the metropolitan in terests no one except those directly inter ested knew that they were pending even some of those who might have been sup posed to know refused to discuss the ques tion last night john c fetzer a director of the audi torium association said klaw & krlsnger have a long-time lease on the auditorium theater and if an ar rangement has been made with the metro politan opera company it would be through j them i know nothing about such a deal 1 and it would not be necessary for klaw & ! erlanger to consult us if they wished to dispose of their lease ignorant of deal milward adams Chicago representative of klaw & erlanger said i know nothing whatever about the re ported lease of the theater i am not in a position to either affirm or deny the story levy mayer counsel for klaw & er i langef said i must decline to discuss the question at all any information about this matter must come from the inetrested parties in new york with the passing of the auditorium into the hands of the metropolitan opeÂ«i com pany chicago's chance of hearing the hammerstein organization before the lat ! ter has a home of its own goes u-gliiu ! inei'ing whether the new lessees will be able to freeze max kabiuoff out and make him hunt another theater for his sunday after noon concerts is a question that the future will determine and perhaps the courts f.e scott

accused of slaying her stepmother and husband evades name of late president faure special cable to the examiner paeis nov 3 â€” not even bernhardt in her tragic roles has ever swayed a parisian as semblage as madame marguerite steinheil the mysterious witness of president faure's sudden end accused of killing her stepmother and her husband swayed the cynical audience of bar risters and journalists in the assize courtroom whether she be merely the du barry of the third republic or the lady macbeth of modern france she showed to-day that she is a consummate actress who will wield all the power of her beauty all the real or feigned pathos of her position all the arts of her subtle yet simple eloquence to save herself from the guillotine clad in her widow's black the tragic veil fram ing the prison pallor of her beautiful and strangely youthful face and not quite concealing the masses of her blonde hair she faced the verbal onslaught of the presiding judge with baffling changes of voice and pose and manner that ranged from perfect calm to wild emotion from open defiance to pathetic pleading at the close of the first day's session of a trial that has gripped the interest of all france as nothing has done since the dreyfus con troversies this wonderful woman seemed to have won the listeners to admiration and sympathy but she had not checked the deadly flre of the judge's pitiless questioning she refused pointblank to mention the name of the late president of france felix faure the mystery of whose fatal attack of illness in her home eight years ago is the feature of international interest in th present trial mme steinheil avoids name of faure i had one dear good friend said madame steinheil softly but i will not mention his name tell his name tell all the names fairly shouted the viscount de valle president of the court no i shall not speak of the dead she answered as calmly aa before the judge refrained to-day from directly questioning the prisoner about the tragedy of may 31 1908 when shortly after midnight adolphe steinheil the artist husband of the defendant and madame japy her stepmother were found choked to death in the steinheil home in paris and when madame steinheil was found gagged and bound in an adjoin ing room the judge struck rather at her defenseless past and questioned her sharply as to why she had accused first the valet couillard then in succession wolf a son of an old servant and burlingham an amer ican newspaper man of having committed the murders mme steinheil made no attempt to deny the records of her affairs of the heart which involved not only the late president of the republic . but many another distinguished personage in the political and social life of paris she met the fact that she had made false accusations with the defense that the tragedy had brought her to such a state of hysteria that she did not know what she was doing or saying the woman who has been openly suspected of giving poisoned wine to president faure when he was her guest alone with her in her hus famous frenchwoman reputed favorite of the late president faure who is on trial for the murder of her htfsband and her

income he told his suspicious to members of the judy commission an investigation was made but nothing was proved on the suspected clerk pierce maguire whom mr mason named in open court a.s the object

mii maguiro were very intimate many jury cards torn up in addition to the revelation that graft was suspected in the jury commissioners office there were othe amazing disclos ures it was brought out in the testimony of mrs mary krueger a janltress that torn jury service and record card were found by the basketful in the jury com missioners office as often as three times a week but that the number of torn or destroyed cards diminished greatly after the indictment and arrest o commissioner holland that the vault door in the jury commis sioners office was found open and a liiht burning within one morning as early as 5 o'clock was also shown by the testimony of mrs krueger that testimony conflicting with that given by him before the investigating judges had been given by chief clerk mason before the grand jury was charged by state's attorney wayman and admitted by mason friction again developed between fhe investigating judges and mr wayman who reiterated his challenge of the previous dvy n to the jurists to drop the investigation if " they were afraid of it citizen complained of holdup detailing the circumstances of the dis covery in reference to the immunity baths offered for sale in the jury com missioners office chief clerk mason said that a citizen who had been sent by a judge to make complaint to the commission gave information showing that an offer to get him off for cash had been made will you state what the man said in reference to the offer to get him off jury service for money asked mr way man the answer of mason was a gentleman informed us he had an swered the notice in person he said while he stood at the window another man had stood beside him later this person offered to get him off jury service for a price the commission took up this matter and had the gentlemen look at the clerks in the office he could not iden tify any of them as the man who had ap proached him i believe i suggested to the commissioners that if anything of the kind had been attempted it would i thought be through maguire the gen tleman i believe identified maguire as the clerk who had taken his return in the window the name of the citizen was not made public neither was the name of the judge who sent him to the jury commission to complain it is understood that mr way man has investigated the incident and that testimony throwing further light on it may be introduced for the st:ite at the trial of holland mason attacks holland wayman then asked questions regarding the sort of persons who called at the office to see holland i thought they were rather a ordinary sort of people said mason there were a good many of thorn i diiin'l ts-ci'laln why they came how much time did holland spend in his office 1 very little he came in at d:3o or 10 h^^^mat jn ae morning
